Smoking Servo

When unboxing a new Roli, we were plugging in the individual servos, and one started smoking. We unplugged it, waited a short while, and plugged it in again . No more smoke, but VERY warm while running (not even doing anything). I feel like this servo is done, and needs replacing. Thoughts?

Absolutely got a bad one. They should not smoke or be hot.
